  • Hi, That sounds like an issue with the cms itself, it is creating the dashed urls but also keeps a record of the original urls and delivers them if requested. If the urls with blanks in them are not being linked to internally and not being linked to by external sites then really you have no problem, only you are looking at the spaced urls nobody else (including the search engines) know they exist, so no issues with duplicate content.

  • I would recommend using hubspot.com with their Pro package using salesforce as well. You are running a business that does not need to have pretty URLs. Why would you want them to be indexed? If I have a customer of yours and I fill out a request form to have my belongings moved to a different location. It should be done on the CRM through a work flow using a product similar to salesforce. That means the customer will receive the form ( Adobe forms is an excellent source for high-quality forms as well) in an e-mail once completed.  of course your company will receive that form/request/lead as well. Put it into hub spots workflow so when somebody fills out the form. It does not get indexed by Google and as a lead number on it or  so http://hubspot.example.com/company–date–lead number/ would be your URL. The reason this is the best way is you're going to use this and multiple e-mails and in your customer relationship management software. It's not going to be indexed by Google if you can help it. If you need to make a customizable form meaning add more of whatever you should be able to do that with either Adobe forms, gravity forms, Google forms, Wufoo forms so if they need to add an extra end table they can do it. The link below will take you to some less expensive software it is a combination of Wufoo forms and Microsoft CRM 2011 it's hosted, and it looks to me like it would be right up your alley. So if http://www.forms2crm.com/ cannot help you and Hubspot.com cannot help you can use some of the links below. They all do similar things. This is not really an SEO question my opinion however it is a lead question and how handle leads when they come in. A new way to interact with your customers, built for Microsoft Dynamics CRM, powered by Wufoo forms. http://www.forms2crm.com/ What can you do with forms2crm? Leads capture Surveys Order processing Case logging Event registration Leads capture for tradeshows Field technician reports Field sales reports Real estate management Read 1-Handling Tender Form Fill Location where to move and be moved into, carrying information about the goods auctioned fill in the form. Price from firms 2- Buy Offers Ratings and reviews of many companies in the Get a price quote. Choose one of the offers. Enakliyat guarantees a comfortable stone. 3-Company and Service Rate Use the power of your hand, and the rating of a company and evaluate the service. Salesforce.com As you can see in this demo below that is a moving company they're referencing https://crm.zoho.com/crm/ShowHomePage.do#tab_Dashboardsbck http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc150850.aspx http://www.zoho.com http://www.zoho.com/crm/sales-force-automation.html If you have more questions give more help or I can please let me know.

  • Hello, This is what Google Webmaster tools says in my account. HTML Improvements Last updated May 16, 2013 We didn't detect any content issues with your site. As we crawl your site, we check it to detect any potential issues with content on your pages, including duplicate, missing, or problematic title tags or meta descriptions. These issues won't prevent your site from appearing in Google search results, but paying attention to them can provide Google with more information and even help drive traffic to your site. For example, title and meta description text can appear in search results, and useful, descriptive text is more likely to be clicked on by users So as far as i understand they didnt detect any issue with duplicate or missing meta tags, what can it be them?? Thanks

  • Unfortunately, "index.php?mact=Calendar" is not a folder, it's a page+parameter. If you tried to block that as a folder in GWT, it would mostly just not work. If it went really wrong, you'd block anything driven from index.php (including your home-page). A couple of options: (1) Programmatically META NOINDEX anything that calls the calendar parameters. This would have to be done selectively in the index.php header with code, so that ONLY the calendar pages were affected. (2) Block "mact=" or "year=" with parameter handling in GWT. under "Configuration" > "URL Parameters". ONLY do this if these parameters drive the calendar and no other pages. You can basically tell Google to ignore pages with "year=" in them. You can also block parameters in Robots.txt, but honestly, once the pages have been indexed, it doesn't work very well.

  • When we manually check the page source we see that there is no duplicate title tag or missing title tag. We do not understand why? GWTs show us this title: "evden eve nakliye" When we manually check the page source we see this title: "Enakliyat: evden eve nakliye 4263. ihale"

  • I would second FDFPres' suggestions. The site needs to have content accessible to the public which Google can also crawl and index. I would choose content types that best fit your target keywords, audience and brand! -Dan

  • Again thank you so much Dr. Peter for that explanation. It's really worth. Yes, I can understand what you said. I have combined thespicygadgematics.com, to AandroidGadgematic, because I don't have enough time to update two blogs. That's why I do it. There's no any penalty for the TSG blog.

  • Kent - Just guessing here...  IF you had to change your settings, did you clear your cache? Might be worth a try to see if that solves it.  Good luck.

  • Make sure to set the X-Robots directive to NOINDEX|FOLLOW, or you'll completely defeat the purpose of the sitemap.

  • This is probably the extent of the answer I can give you in Q&A. I would look at when your traffic dropped, and attempt to line that up the Algorithm History. If the date of your traffic drop lines up with a Penguin or Panda date, that's a pretty clear sign. There are some great resources linked to on that same algorithm history to help you. If you HAVE been hit by Penguin (for the links), it sounds like you're doing all the right things. The process is usually disavow then reconsider, but where you haven't received a message that's probably not necessary. Just keep cleaning and keep working on gaining more legitimate visibility. Do have a look, though, and make sure it's not Panda.

  • Could be, I suppose. But it's been happening on and off for months now. I just mostly stop caring after a bit, clear out the errors and get annoyed when I see it pop up again. Its one of those things that doesn't actually cause a problem but I can't help feeling irked by its existence. All in all, I'm perfectly fine with the solution being "Google is wrong, leave it alone"... that's basically what I've been doing anyway.

  • It turned out that it was caused by Google Page Speed. They told me that it was fine and nothing to worry about but I just disabled it due to server issues and I guess that is what made the code disappear...

  • Yes before sept 2012 it was beneficial to have a keyword rich domain, but not anymore. In fact a domain like yours which is keyword rich, super long, and with two hyphens might be a red flag to google. If you are serious about this website I would change the domain name, it is horrible.
